The route selected by the Missouri,
Kansas s. Southwestern surveyors is
one of the finest that they could hit on.
The nature of the land does not call
for much grading or bridging, and lies
through as fertile a district as the
state of Kansas can boast. Mr.. Miller,
the chief of surveyors, says that the
survey viii be completed to Kansas
City inside of month. A gang will
be put to throwing dirt in a few days.
Thus the grand work goes on.

| A Topeka correspondent for several
Kansas papers has sent out somewhat
sensational political letter, in which he
claims:
There came to the capital city on the
| 30th day of June, as silently and as I'M
OStentatiously as possible, Col. James
| HallOWell of Wichita, chairman of the
| late republican state convention; Judge
George d. Orner of Garden City, Hon.
Frank E. Gillett of Kingman, Mayor
''Bill'' Hackney of Winfield, Col. 'Dick''
! Walker of Wichita, and last, but by no
manner of means the least of them all
| Rev, Bernard Kelley, presiding elder
of the M. Z. church for the district of
Emporia. They just dropped in to see
the sights in and about the capital, but
| no business in particular, wouldn' t talk
politics because it was too early yet,
| and they all disappeared about the
same time: Their presence, as re-
marked before, created no particular
comment, however. But after the lapse
of three weeks it is whispered about
that the gentlemen from the great
southwest, with the aid of a few 9TH
ers. had meeting at the Copeland no
tel on the evening of June 80, and
agreed upon a line of battle for the
coming fight next year.
The estate" supposed to have been
arranged by this secret meeting is:
For ACKNOWLEDGMENT Kelley of
For Lieutenant Governor-Frank E.
Gillett of Kingman.
For State TreaSurer-JameS w. Ham,
iltOn of Sumner.
For State Auditorium. Mccarthy

A story is being circulated to the
effect that two hundred years ago
China had Just such craze as we are
having about natural gas, and the
country all blew up and a big lake now
occupies the region. The Cincinnati
Commercial, in referring to this,
says that some day Lake Erie will go
bowling down to the Ohio valley, and
Soden's paper insimnates that we are
possibly living directly over veritable
slumbering volcano, and inferentially
hints that work on our gas well should
be Immediately stopped, as, if we find
gas, it may be that the suction viii
be the wrong way, and we may all be
drawn into the hole. Our citizens will
probably understand why Soden's
editor is so anxious that this story
should be believed by our people and
why he wants work stopped at our gas
well, when it is well known that he
(Soden) is one of the heaviest holders
of stock in our present gas company
and is now asking favors of the city
in its interests.
A meeting was held Saturday at AS

THE ONLY STANDARD
OF Religious TRUTH Says DIR. Van
Anda. is the Bible.

At Centenary church the pastor preached
from Isaiah, lXii-10, Lift up Standard for
the People"
A standard is an establish ed rule. Thus
the government fixes standard of weights
and measures. So we speak of Il standard
work on history, or some branch of science or
philosophy. In religion there is Il standard
of truth, experience ard conduct. Without
thousands of weights, measures aud values
there could be no justice in buying or selling.
If no standard of excellence in literature
there could be no criticism, no certainty as TO
which was fact or fiction. II in religious
matters there is nothing settled as q standard
then there is no settled faith and no manner
of determining the moral quality of actions.
We may know the essential truths of relig-
ion. God hath spoken, and teachable spirit
will understand his speech. What man be-
lieves greatly modfieS his conduct. Column
bus believed the world to be round, hence he
could reach India by sailing westward from
Spain. His faith resulted in the discovery Of
a new world. Luther believed the sale of in
dulgences to be sin; he also believed in jus
tification by faith, hence his opposition to
Rome, and hence the Reformation. Wes-
ley believed in q present saliva
ton by faith, to be testified to by the Holy
Ghost, hence the Methodist church and its
work. The Bible is the standard of religious
truth, ''the only and sufficient rule both of
our faith and practice 1t teaches the glory
and helplessness oc man. and the provisions
of grace through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ.
AS to religious experience, this standard
teaches that a moral transformation is
wrought for the penitent believer by the
Spirit of God, who gives assurance of His
work, so that we know old things pass away
and all things become new. Abel and Enoch
had the witness that they were righteous and
pleased God. The pSalmist says, This poor
man cried, and the Lord heard him and de-
livered him out of all his troubles" So with
prophets and apostles. The standard, of con-
duct demands right living. No sin is al
lowed, No duty may be omitted. All actions
possessing moral quality must be done in the
name of the Lord Jesus and for the glory of
God. Neither our own tastes nor inclinations
1or the custom of our times, nor what may
seem to be our interest, can be taken as
standard. but always the reference must be
to the will OF God. We cannot attain to this
standard in our own strength, but sincere
effort secures strength according to our day.

give us Barabbas free. The speaker here de-
scribed the blind rage of the masses, when
their evil passions are stirred up by corrupt
leaders. And PLATE must finally decide;
choose with the people and cruelty Christ
Have you never stood Mt the crossroads where
your conscience pointed one way and your
flesh and temporal interest another? Which
way did you choose? The choice is Christ or
the devil! 1t sounds perhaps little harsh to
put 1t so bare But dress the devil up a little
hang on him some fine clothes and put it:
Christ or the world. Christ or mammon, Christ
or the lusts OF the flesh, Christ or your own
vanity or cowardice, and how have you chosen?
How often have you cried: Give us Barabbas
free! And when the question arose what
shall l then do with Christ, the answer came,
''crucify him!' How long will We waver!
How long bargain between your conscience
and God on one side and the world and the
flesh on the other? There is only one safe
way. Decide to-day Internationally and irrev-
ocably for Christ.

The Minneapolis Journal of recent date
contained malignant attack upon the de-
tective service, which was directed espe-
cally at Capt. Hankinson. This, it ap-
pears, has aroused the indignation of two
well-known business firms. who consider
that they have reason to be grateful to the
detectives for their efficiency and faithful
ness, and the following communication is
published at their request:
To the Editor Of the Globe.
We, the undersigned, desire to publicly ex-
press our thankst through your valuable paper

Hill for the business-like manner in which
they undertook the successful recovery of
the goods lately stolen from our places of

upon Chief Hankinson, March "a, in the

s'Where to Look" was the theme of Rev.
j. j. Hall in a sermon preached at Free
Baptist church. and the words of his text:
TO Whom Shall We Go? Thou Hast the
Words of Eternal Life. John, 6-6S Mr..
Hall said:
How natural for one person to look to an
other for advice, encouragement and help.
The younger child looks to the elder. the Stu
dent to the teacher, the wife to the husband,
and the friend to his friend. And yet no one
can have lived many v ears and have had
much experience in life without coming into
places wherein the insufficiency of merely
human aid is realized, and the question herein
put by the Apostle Peter to our Savior forces
itself from the burdened soul. ITO whom
shall we go?'' AS we look abroad upon this
beautiful earth we find much to awaken de-
light and gladness. But alas! we soon find
that there is curse upon this fair world
You look upon the human race and find the
woe existing there. You see the little child
tenderly loved and cared for, but before the
anniversary of its birth comes around it is
borne to the silence of the grave. Let those
who reject the Bible account for the woes of
this earth rs best they can. I believe sin has
thrown humanity out of order from that
sphere which means the worlds greatest
happiness and highest good. There is some
thing dreadfully wrong, which is the cause
of the worlds woes and death, which acts
like poison in the veins of humanity. That
wrong we believe to result from sin. When
one looks away from the world at large to his
own heart and becomes conscious of his own
responsibility and his own guilt, he is led to
inquire. to whom can l go for relief? Is
there hope ere / stand in Judgment before

Christ and sin has no Saviour, and the

comment, and it all goes to show the good

and are painting for a chance to get at the
bosses.

still blaze fercely. There is every prospect
of an independent candidate, who will add
considerably to the music. StOneman car
ried the caucusSeS but he is believed to
represent Aid. Lawrence, and sentiment in
his party is not united in his favor. In the
Tenth and Eleventh wards the Republicans
and Prohibitionists are pulling widely apart
and there is no hope of coalition. Repub-
llcan advices to the Union League club
from those wards on Saturday night were
very discouraging. The Twelfth was also
reported as very probably Democratic. and
the Thirteenth was about the only single
ward from which the Republicans could
draw solid comfort. This is about the stu
alton at this time. In the expressive Ian
guage of Pat Callahan: 1.-THE legislature
